“I can confirm that The Queen successfully underwent a short, planned procedure to treat a cataract last month,” the representative said.

It’s not known exactly when the routine procedure took place, but it hasn’t affected her royal diary as the Queen celebrated the wedding of her grandson Prince Harry and his bride Meghan Markle, now known as Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, on May 19 and then hosted two garden parties at her London home days later.
